Samsung has definitely became the only competitor for Apple and both are the two main best smartphone producers in the world now. Consequently it pays for Apple and it's fans to take note on Samsung's advances with it's own hardware,and today's launch of the new flagship Galaxy S3 smartphone is no exception.
The Android based Samsung Galaxy S3 features a huge 4.8'' SUPER AMOLED display with a resolution of 1280x720.The large screen means that the Galaxy S3 measures nearly 20% taller and wider than the iPhone 4S,but is slightly thinner and lighter than the iPhone 4S.The device also include an 8 MP rear camera and a 1.9 MP front camera that can be used for face recognition and tracking features.
Samsung is placing a distinct emphasis on ''natural interaction'' for the Galaxy S3,touting it's facial,voice and motion recognition capabilities,including a Siri-like ''S Voice'' feature.
''With the innovative 'Smart Stay' feature,the Galaxy S3 recognizes how you are using your phone-reading an e-book or browsing the web for instance-by having the front camera identifies your eyes;the maintains a bright display for continuing viewing pleasure.
The Galaxy S3 features the 'S Voice',the advanced natural language user interface,to listen and respond to your words.In addition to allow information search and basic device user communication S Voice presents powerful functions in regard to device controls and commandments.When your phone alarm goes off but you need a little extra rest just tell your S3 'snooze'.You can also use S Voice to play your favorite songs,turn the volume up and down,send text messages and e-mails,organize your schedules,or automatically launch the camera and capture a photo.
In addition to recognizing your face and voice,the Galaxy S3 understands your your motion to offer maximized usability.If you are messaging someone but decided to call them instead,simply lift your phone to your ear and 'Direct Call' will dial their number and calls."
Other feature include 'Pop Up Play',which allows users to play videos anywhere on their screen while still using other apps,camera improvements including zero-lag shutter and burst shot mode,and NFC capabilities.Samsung has also partnered with DropBox (cloud service) to offer Galaxy S3 users 50GB of free storage for two years,a deal that will extend to all Samsung phones and tablets later this year and see the DropBox app comes pre-installed in all these devices.
In other bid to take on Apple,Samsung is also rolling out a new Music Hub service that integrates both a streaming service and an iTunes Match-like-scan-and-match service to provide users with access to their own music from anywhere.As noted by The Verge,Music Hub will cost $9.99 per month for one device or $12.99 for up to 4 devices plus web access.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 will launch in Europe on May 29 before extending to the United States in June and other markets around the world going forward.
